The most sound advise that a father could ever tell his son. . .
"Your world is yours for the taking. You can achieve immeasurably whatever you dream"
Paraphrased from what my father has always told me since I was young. You see everything starts in the mind. We perceive whatever we conceive. We lead our lives according to what is in our minds.
I just watched "The King's speech". The story is about King George VI who found himself in his position as King under queer circumstances. What actually amazes me most is that he found a voice in himself despite the fact that he was a stammerer.
Apparently no one is born a stammerer :-) and the story goes that he was sort of the black sheep, and his bigger brother was more adored. He gets a fantastic speech therapist, a visionary I would say, who enables him find his own unique voice. The most amazing thing is that King George VI becomes a voice of natural resistance that binds the people together prior to the World War II.
My lessons are threefold-Anything is possible. Anything. It is just how you see it and how you go after it. Once we are in a habit of convincing our sub-conscious minds that we can achieve anything, then our mind and bodily functions, our energies are tuned towards a certain cause. Practice practice makes perfect and working on it is drawing the final straw.
"You CANNOT be afraid of those things you were afraid of when you were 5"
The fact that you are still kicking now is because you came from somewhere. At times we get bogged down by our past failures, mistakes and fears. Alas! It is a new day, a new opportunity for you to rebuild and overcome. There are different circumstances now and the reason the past remains in the past is because nothing can be done about it and it ALWAYS has learning opportunities and occurrences to make us wiser.
Lionel Logue (the speech therapist) is also a true visionary. He did not have any qualifications but his innate talent to "give Faith to people's voices" enabled different people to discover their potential. In a world of warped reality we really need to know what we are good at and as we are billions of people with unique persona and abilities, then finding out exactly what works for each of us becomes prime. The truth is that at the end of all of it, we are the ones solely responsible for what we make of our lives.
Know today that you are powerful beyond measure, and what you WILL do will really shock you.
